Extract text from a PDF online, free
Pull the selectable text out of a PDF, with page separators, then copy it or download it as a .txt file. Everything runs in your browser.
Files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to a server. No account, no watermark, no tracking.
How to use it
- Open the Extract Text tool and choose a PDF.
- Pick all pages or a custom range.
- Click Extract text, then copy or download the result.
Good to know
- Works only when the PDF contains selectable text.
- Scanned or image-only PDFs return little or nothing — OCR is not included.
- Layout/formatting may not be preserved exactly.
